Correspondence, including formal notification from President and Fellows of Harvard College of appointment as Visiting Professor of Chemistry, "to serve from February 1 through June 30, 1959".
In accepting the appointment, Crick replied (1 April, 1958): "As to the topics of the lectures, I have discussed the matter with Professor Doty, who advises me that rather than cover merely structure, I should give a course roughly corresponding to my range of interests. This is the structure, synthesis and function of the more important biological macromolecules, in particular the proteins and the nucleic acid [sic.], and would include their relation to genetics."
The file includes a letter to Crick from Dr George Streisinger, returned to Cold Spring Harbor after a year at Cambridge.
Also included is an invitation (accepted) to participate in a conference on 'Enzyme Reaction Mechanisms' at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Gatlinburg, Tennessee, 1-4 April, 1959.
